John Dick Winters: Stand-Up Comedian/Storyteller

John Dick Winters

John Dick Winters

is a stand up comedian and storyteller based in Pittsburgh, PA, and has performed as far away as just outside of Pittsburgh. He is the founder of Race to the Coffin Comedy and the Burning Bridges Festival, the largest comedy fest in Pennsylvania. Probably. Who knows, to be honest? Prove him wrong.

His style is part observational, part autobiographical, part mumble. Heavily tattooed, always in black, and standing over 6 feet tall, John looks intimidating, though his comedy is anything but. John Dick Winters will play your bar, your living room, your black box theater, your garage, your comedy club, and whoever is in attendance will leave smiling.

Touring the country on the national independent comedy circuit for the past five years, John has worked with countless, incredibly talented comics that no one has ever heard of, and a few whose names you may actually recognize such as: Aparna Nancherla, Brian Posehn, James Adomian, Sean Patton, Ron Funches, Kyle Kinane, Myq Kaplan, Sara Schaefer, Rory Scovel, Geoff Tate, Kyle Dunnigan, Shane Torres, Graig Gass, Steve Byrne and the late Ralphie May.
